-Hello. -Hey.

Anything to report?

Nothing.

How is Mr. Oh doing?

We are administering genophental at a lower dose,

and his jaundice has gotten better.

Good.

Thanks.

Do you have a cold?

No, I suddenly started coughing.

Are you sure you're not sick?

No. It just suddenly...

Dr. Park.

I forgot the order you gave for Park Seon-gil

who got an RFA done this morning,

so I couldn't give him his medication.

JOO HYEON-U IS IN DANGER

The weight of the truth is unbearable.

How am I supposed to deal with it?

Then,

would it have been better had you not known about the truth?

That's not it.

Seriously.

I can't believe it.

I'm so scared that I don't know if I can face Dr. Park and Director Lee.

Just act normal.

I'm sure they won't bite you.

That's right. They bite.

Anyway...

you didn't forget your promise, right?

What? What promise?

You said you would run down the hall in your underwear

if Dr. Park was a vampire.

Keep your promise.

Hey! Come on.

That was just a joke.

I was just being funny. Why do you take it so seriously?

You can't break the promise you made to your mentee!

Don't be like that.

I'm disappointed in you.

Oh, my gosh! What are you doing?

-You said to strip and run. -Are you seriously going to do that?

-Just imagining it grosses me out. -Gross you out?

What does?

Uncle.

Hi.

Are you okay?

Of course, I am.

Are you sure about that?

I told you I'm fine. Now, get back to work.

I'm busy catching up on work.

I'm taking you to get a checkup tomorrow.

I have made the arrangements.

Sure, let's do that. Now go on.

Okay.

Sir, Vice Director is here to see you.

Send her in.

I'll get going then.

Okay.

What brings you here this early?

I just wanted drop by and say hi.

I'll get going.

Do you have something to report to me?

If you do, go ahead.

Oh, no.

Has any other patient displayed aggressive behavior or aberrant symptoms?

No, none.

Most of the patients have been staying in their rooms since last night.

But none of them are eating.

They won't drink water, either.

How much atesine do we have left?

We have quite a bit in liquid form. Why?

Bring it all to the hospital.

Right now.

What did you do

to the chairman?

I freed him from his pain.

What did you do to him?

Did you know

that he took the vaccine on trial without my permission?

I barely managed to find him and bring him back.

I gave him a new drug

that prevents him from experiencing any kind of pain.

But...

in about 72 hours,

the chairman will pass away.

-What did you-- -I bought you some time

so that you can sort things out ahead of time.

It would be better to establish some kind of plan before he dies.

And he'll pass away painlessly without knowing he is dying.

Isn't that...

sufficient to give you some assurance?

No.

This is not...

what I wanted.

No.

This is the only way you'll get what you want.

Now, you execute your plan, whatever it may be.

I'll sit back and watch.

I'm going to have my uncle admitted.

Admitted?

You were there. You saw how bad he is.

He isn't normal right now.

I think he's just a little tired.

I'm not saying this as his niece but as a doctor.

Why don't we...

ask the chairman first--

No.

I'll do what I want.

You stay out of it.

Rita.

I'll excuse myself.

Rita.

I know you're still upset about what I didn't tell you before.

But please hear me out.

All my life,

I've worked for the chairman and you.

I had no ulterior motives.

You forgot one.

Taemin.

Right.

I heard you called an emergency board meeting.

I guess I'll finally find out...

what the most important things was to you.

Yes?

The chairman?

AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY

Give everyone 30mg of this.

What is this?

Give it to them. This isn't anything bad.

Let's go.

Dr. Park.

What's going on?

Just lend a hand.

Okay.

It's strange.

I'm craving something, but I don't know what it is.

It isn't rice or pizza.

And I feel like

I can hear my heart pounding really loudly.

You'll get better in no time. Don't worry.

How is he?

His vitals are unstable,

but he is not in critical condition yet.

We'll need to conduct a thorough examination.

I'll take care of him.

The examination and everything.

Let's have each department handle it.

I'm sure you're busy.

I will let them handle it.

But I'll stay by his side.

She is his family. She should be here.

I agree, but as a doctor...

As a doctor, I do not recommend her to accompany him for every single test.

That will be too painful for her.

Rita, why don't you do as he says?

Leave him alone.

I told you not to give him the vaccine.

I didn't give it to him.

He took it without my permission.

What?

Who gave it to him without your permission?

Mr. Joo In-ho.

I fired him on disciplinary grounds.

I opposed administering the drug to the chairman.

Don't lie to me.

This is frustrating.

I'm telling you the truth.

The vaccine wouldn't have made him this way.

What did you give him?

Everyone...

Everyone reacts differently.

I'll pay you back for this.

Rita, please calm down, and--

You knew, didn't you? You kept it from me again.

Get out, both of you.

No one but family is allowed in here.

Fine.

Do as you wish.

You get out too.

How could they do that?

If you leave them there...

won't they figure everything out?

May I take that as an indication of you joining me?

Thank you for taking my side.

It's difficult to find a true ally.

Please answer my question.

The substance?

It will be difficult to figure out.

Even if they do, it won't be for a while.

And even if they do, what could they do?

You can just hide behind me.

So, did you give all of them atesine?

Yes, all of them.

It will be okay for the time being, but they may develop a tolerance quickly.

The side effects are progressing too quickly.

Our research can't keep up.

I think that's why the director has been failing.

But my uncle will have similar side effects, right?

You never know, so give the chairman

atesine this evening.

Just why...

He had no idea.

You focus on the chairman.

Hyeon-u and I will take care of 21A.

Uncle.

Are you feeling better?

Where am I?

Our hospital.

You fainted, so we brought you here.

I fainted?

I don't remember.

You'll be fine after you get some rest.

Chae-eun.

Yes, Uncle?

You know that I love you very much, right?

The chairman's blood test results are out.

They are?

Let me see.

It contains the same substances as the vaccine,

but there are two other substances.

I'm a layman when it comes to biochemistry,

so it's difficult to figure out.

I have no idea, either.

Have you seen anything like it, Hyeon-u?

I've never seen a molecular structure like this.

It does look complicated though.

The blood test results are out?

Well,

I think it will take a while.

How is the chairman?

He woke up briefly earlier.

Very briefly.

I see.

He said he kept having this dream.

In that dream, he said he saw my parents and me as a child.

But he seemed strange.

How?

He had been like a stranger lately as he was very cold to me.

But earlier, for that brief moment,

he was like my uncle from when I was seven.

My uncle from my faint distant memories.

I need to go home.

I have to stay here for a while, so I need to get some clothes.

Let's go together.

HOW TO COMFORT YOUR GIRLFRIEND

100 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT VAMPIRES

WORD PROCESSOR

100 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT VAMPIRES

If you could die,

what would you want to do before you die?

I didn't give it to him.

He took it without my permission.

I'm going to go back home now.

Take some gear with you just in case.

I'll let Hyeon-u know.

You should go.

You used to smile now and then,

but I never see you smile anymore.

Well, it's reasonable when you have nothing to smile about.

What is it this time?

I have two questions.

First, Chairman Yu Seok-ju--

He's going to die soon. He isn't on our side anymore.

Next question.

Next question?

The patients in 21A

are beyond having side effects. They're practically infected.

What are you planning to do?

I don't like your tone.

I feel like I'm being attacked.

I'm sorry.

Park Ji-sang will come up with a solution.

We've come to an agreement.

So, is he working on it instead of the drug team?

That's how it turned out to be

since he cares so much about the patients.

You used the patients as leverage to make him do it?

-Min Ga-yeon. -It's fine.

There's no better way to phrase it.

But this isn't just a side effect.

-It will get much worse-- -Then we'll pull the plug

as we've always done.

What's so different about this time? Why all the fuss?

I had hoped this would be our last experiment too,

and I tried to make it the last.

However, you can never know

when the last time will be.

Okay.

I'll just accept it

as I have been doing until now.

What is that?

This?

It's a painkiller.

Really?

Go home once you're done, Chae-eun.

Why aren't you calling me Rita?

Rita?

Rita...

Rita.

That's right.

Call me whatever you prefer.

And I'm going to sleep here from now on.

It's okay. Sleep at home.

No.

It's been 20 years since I slept next to you.

I think I was in middle school then.

I had a really bad nightmare and slept next to you.

Did you?

My memory is failing me.

But, you know...

over the past few days,

you were kind like you used to be.

You're like your old self.

How have I been lately?

That's right.

I got angry at you

because I was sick, right? At the vice director, too.

What's wrong?

What?

Nothing.

What happened to J?

We incinerated his body.

Once we die,

we will end up a handful of ash too, right?

No one will ever know

who we really were.

When I found out

that the doctor had saved me,

I was so happy.

Weren't you happy?

I was happy too.

You were a boxer and got involved in illegal gambling

to pay for your brain tumor surgery.

You got caught and beaten so badly that you fell into a coma.

After many years of living with a face deformed by disease,

poor J attempted suicide

and ended up in a coma.

We were pathetic souls with no money or hope.

I really liked the doctor back then...

but he seems like a stranger now.

I'm just venting.

Bye.

Ga-yeon.

You're not the only one struggling right now.

Just know that.

Dr. Park

What are you doing here at this hour?

Hey.

I stopped by on my way home

to see if anyone is still here.

I see.

Since Byeong-su left,

you haven't been here a lot, right?

I'm fine, but the others seem to feel uncomfortable.

By the way, where did you go this late at night?

Well...

A friend came by, so I stepped out.

Good. You should see your friends too.

Right.

Do you

still respect and like me?

Of course. That will never change.

-Min Ga-yeon. -Yes, Dr. Park?

Keep your word...

that it won't change.

Not just how you feel about me,

but also your positive view of others

and the world.

Okay, Dr. Park.

Good night.

I'm losing my mind.

I can figure out most things within a few hours, but...

You still haven't figured it out?

You said to figure it out within two days.

Is it a new substance?

A new substance would be easier to identify

because it'd be saved into my database right away.

Its molecular formula tells me

that it's either an analgesic or a neural paralysis inducer.

The other substance is a toxin.

Maybe the analgesic was added, so that he wouldn't feel the toxin.

That's my guess, but we need clearer results.

How are the chairman's CT and MRI scans?

They didn't find much.

They said his muscle stiffness actually decreased.

That's strange.

Right, don't forget to spray sonein

and walk all around the hospital tomorrow.

See who coughs.

Start today.

-So, why did you choose me-- -You look like you don't sleep much.

Min Ga-yeon.

Keep your word that it won't change.

Not just how you feel about me,

but also your positive view of others

and the world.

If the test results are undesirable,

what should we do?

Are you doubting me, too?

That's not what I mean.

I have always prepared for all outcomes.

If the results are undesirable...

Must we get rid of the test subjects

and leave again?

Isn't that what you expected?

Dr. Yu Rita is still young.

Who can take over the group then?

Naturally, it must be you.

You've been the chairman's right-hand person for years

and revived Taemin.

You are too kind.

Thank you, Executive Director,

but getting the shareholders' support is

a different story.

Of course it is.

But if the chairman names his successor himself,

the shareholders won't be able to say anything

since so many trust him.

Mr. Chairman.

What is it?

Why aren't you saying anything?

Say what?

You know what I mean.

I have neglected you like this

and am trying to hold a shareholder's meeting in your absence.

So what?

Are you trying to avoid the conversation?

No.

Just...

There's no point in talking about those things.

I'm wondering why I lived like that...

just for this.

Please speak like you used to.

The way you have been to me for over 20 years.

Be cruel and cold.

Mr. Chairman.

You know we have committed grave sins, right?

It's strange.

My memories are all faint.

But that memory is all too clear.

I clearly remember

what we talked about

and even what we were wearing that day.

Everything.

Why are you bringing that up?

The two of us...

must never forget about that day.

I asked you to come today

to tell you the results of our research thus far.

Seeing how suddenly you called us, there must be some progress.

Yes. Eureka.

We finally got back on track.

What is it? Please tell us.

With both VTH-16 and your blood analysis,

we had focused on the virus in the blood.

Thus, we overlooked its foundation, the stem cells.

In other words,

we must target the mutated stem cells themselves.

Is that it?

Correct.

Targeting the plasma and other cells is useless.

You could just replace Dr. Park's stem cells completely.

That's the premise, but it isn't as easy as it sounds.

We are dealing with VBT-01 here.

We can conduct targeted therapy on the stem cells.

That is something Hyeon-u and I never thought of.

I think the best way is to create a new anticancer substance

by combining an existing anticancer substance

and VTH-16.

I assume the process will be risky and highly likely to fail?

Yes,

but it is definitely worth giving it a shot.

Tinium venovital and Agent Number Five.

What is this?

Tinium venovital treats

nervous breakdowns and insomnia.

In some parts of the US, it is used to execute prisoners.

It was also once used

by the Secret Service during interrogations.

Is it similar to pentobarbital, then?

Yes.

But due to the severe side effects, it's been banned.

What kind of side effects?

Extreme hallucination, weakened senses,

and damage to brain cells.

The headaches must have been caused by damaged brain cells.

Then what is Agent Number Five?

A neuroparalytic agent which Soviet agents used during the Cold War.

How long it lasts varies based on concentration.

It ranges from one to five days.

Why did he give these substances to the chairman?

Why else? To kill him slowly.

Considering the concentration and rate of progression,

the chairman won't last two days.

What?

And he has no hope now.

There's no way to save him?

No, it's too late.

It contains a strong accelerator on top of the two substances,

so it's probably reached the brain by now.

But the cruelest thing is that,

because Agent Number Five causes excruciating pain,

Tinium venovital was added, so he wouldn't feel the pain.

If the director really did this,

he is the cruelest demon of all.

Why did you do that to the chairman?

I guess you've finished analyzing the substance.

He helped you with your outrageous scheme.

-He did. -So, why?

It's obvious.

He broke our trust.

Trust?

Since when did you care

so much about trust?

I'm not talking about trust in general, but trust in me.

Are you going to kill everyone who doesn't trust you?

Of course, I must.

I consider anyone who doesn't trust me my enemy.

I actually trust the people who hate me more.

At least they do not fake anything.

That's why it's fun dealing with them.

You'd better not feel that way when you are with me.

I'm sorry.

But I have the most fun when I'm with you.

By the way,

I told you to find a way to save the patients. What are you doing here?

If you keep wasting time,

it's over...

for everyone.

Is that true?

Why did he give him something like that?

Why?

Is there really no way to save him?

I'm sorry.

Hyeon-u and I racked our brains,

but there is no way

given the circumstances.

Director Lee Jae-uk...

I know you're furious to no end.

I do.

I understand.

But, remember what you told me?

At times like this, you must remain calm.

Are you telling me to leave the director alone?

First,

we must keep him within reach

so he can't run far away.

He's here because of the patients in 21A.

But once this is taken care of,

I'm going to...

get rid of the director myself.

I'll make him pay for...

all the pain we've suffered.

So, wait a little more.

I'll take care of it all.

Both this situation and the director.

Can you

trust me?

Dr. Park.

When you found out that he killed your parents...

is this how you felt?

Hi, Seong-gyun.

Is the director in the OR lounge?

Okay.

When you found out that he killed your parents...

is this how you felt?

The number you have dialed cannot be reached...

You're wilder than I imagined.

I'll kill you!

If I were this easy to kill,

I would have died long ago.

Let go of her.

Stop it.

Let go.

-We can't let him live! -Calm down already!

I'll leave you two alone.

Why don't you take some time to calm down?

What if something had happened?

How many times must I tell you that he isn't human?

And if he actually died, then what?

How would you have handled or explained it?

Were you going to say that you killed him because he was infected?

Or you killed him because he brutally murdered people?

You have no proof.

Still, how could I leave him alone?

If you get blood on your hands,

you'll become a monster too.

I won't allow that.

You said you were going to kill him too.

That's right.

-But not like this. -Then how will you kill him?

I'll make him regret...

everything that he has done.

Are you in pain?

No,

I didn't call you because I was in pain.

Then what?

I just wanted to.

Good.

It's been a while since you held a rosary.

Yes.

I was reminded of Sister Sylvia.

I realize now

that everything she said

was absolutely correct.

Of course.

She was like a chair

that let people rest on without worry.

Yes, she was.

It's too late

for me to become like her.

I don't know what I can do for you.

Just stay like this

by my side.

Chae-eun.

Do you

have some time?

Time?

Can you

go somewhere for me?

The safe has been unlocked.

Listen carefully, Ms. Choi.

Yes, Director.

No one ever goes into that forest, so it's perfect.

Should we just scare them?

No. Get rid of them.

And leave no loose ends.

Yes, sir.

I'll find people I can trust.

What about Chae-eun?

Director.

I have a question.

Ms. Choi asked you...

what to do with me.

What did you tell her?

Answer me.

Now.

If I had been there...

would I have died too?

I said, answer me!

I'm sorry, Chae-eun.

I'm so very sorry.

I committed a grave sin.

How could you?

To Mom and Dad...

and to me...

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Why did you do it?

You were the best big brother to my dad.

You were the best uncle to me.

Your grandfather...

wanted me to succeed him.

But once he found out I was sick...

he took the position away from me...

and gave it to your father.

I knew I could do better than...

anyone else.

Ever since then...

your grandfather...

has never given me any recognition.

Although he is the one who passed down the disease to me,

he looked down on me and...

left me out.

That's when I decided...

to take my position back.

Is that why you killed my parents?

To take back what was yours?

I'll ask you again.

Just lie to me.

Did you really try to kill me too?

Did you?

Chae-eun.

Trust me on this.

As I raised you...

and watched you grow,

I was...

very happy.

And I...

truly loved you.

Truly.

Why did you call for me?

You need to do something.

I need you to kill

Dr. Yu Rita.

Excuse me?

It's simple.

Go to her place at night and kill her.

Why do you want her dead suddenly?

I have been patient with her.

The chairman will be dead soon.

Let's have her accompany him.

But why must I kill her?

If you go over to her place,

she'll open the door without a second thought.

At least she can leave the world without feeling fear.

I'm being considerate.

What do I do now?

What do I do?

I don't think I can ever find hope again

no matter what good things may come.

How can I ever face my uncle or Ms. Choi?

He should have just denied it.

He said he truly...

loved me.

I'm sure...

his guilt made his love all the more genuine.

It probably made him raise you with more care...

and more love.

I'd better go back and talk to him.

I'm not going to cry like earlier.

I'll make him get on his knees and beg for forgiveness.

Dr. Yu.
